ports/169276 -- still broken?

Greetings,

Sorry to bother you all, but I have a machine here on which I have not
updated any of the ports for quite some time, and I am just now trying
to get everything up-to-date.

Just today I did "portsnap fetch update" so I do think that my ports
tree is up-to-date.

Unfortunately, a number of ports are failing to build because of a problem
relating to a (missing?) thing called "_elementtree", which I gather is
supposed to be part of the python27 package.

Researching this issue, I quickly found PR ports/169276, and that PR seems
to have been closed, due to a fix having (allegedly) been implemented for
the problem.

When I saw that a fix had been implemented, I decided that i should probably
just rebuild and reinstall lang/python27 and that this would fix all my
troubles.  But "cd /usr/ports/lang/python27 & make" produced the following
result:

<snip>
...
Python build finished, but the necessary bits to build these modules were not found:
_sqlite3           _tkinter           dl              
imageop            linuxaudiodev      spwd            
sunaudiodev                                           
To find the necessary bits, look in setup.py in detect_modules() for the module's name.


Failed to build these modules:
_elementtree       pyexpat                            
</snip>

OK, so what did I do wrong?

Any help would be appreciated.
